That all said, I'd love to stop shopping on Amazon but it's impossible.

To Tildes, I'd really like to run a poll for users here that asks:
- Does your partner have anxiety?
- Do they knit or crochet?
- Are they generally messier and less organized than you are?
From there, we'd examine whether people on a tiny, backwater forum in a small corner of the internet are just... The same person?? I'm seeing a lot of trends in the responses here, ones that are all too familiar in my life.

I saw it like I saw other Red Dwarf and other British tv shows on public access networks. Boring, overly talky and in the case of Are You Being Served, they were always sitting around that damned table.
To be fair, I was absolutely looking for more transformers and Dragon Ball than I was Frog and Toad at the time. Maybe that's why it was on past my bedtime.

She's got this Cruella De Ville meets Sally Field in Stepmom thing going on and I'm here for it. What a tightrope to walk -- the kind of slapstick comedy meets heartfelt moments that the whole show does so so well.
Also, that soundtrack has been living rent free in my head as a traditional Christmas song for ages. I had no idea it was created just for Home Alone. So magical.

It sounds crazy because it is hahah
It's all Launchbox, and the coolest thing is that the plug-in Third Screen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgGmJ87qOoU) which allows you to target different game information (banners, advertisements, videos) to each screen. It works quite seamlessly and so far, I'm super impressed.

Here's a test print of the bottom portion of the control panel that they completed the week before and a design file of both layers together.
Print sample: https://postimg.cc/XZZN5t7q
Control panel design: https://i.postimg.cc/K8ZgcNP2/Artboard-1.pngWe've made some changes since then, but the goal is to have an addressable lighting array inside the control panel that shines through select parts of the print job. From there, the light strings will work their way up through tubes behind each monitor and along the ceiling and walls of the long hallway it lives in.
3D render of the arcade: https://i.postimg.cc/htS74rLK/Seat-lightcables-inside.png
Multiple screens: https://postimg.cc/623Sj4mVFor those who aren't acquainted, the the arcade building is a group of people who conservatively approach design and are pretty quick to jab people who make unconventional choices in design. After building 3 semi-conventional machines, I figured "Fuck it, I want to make something crazy" and here it is. It's a wall-sized unit that's meant to serve all possible play styles, give seizures when asked for and act as an archivist's wet dream when it comes to presenting supporting ads, videos and other memorabilia from old games.
I'm excited to make a big post here once it's all done.

The formula has run its course, but on many fronts, ST pioneered it for the Netflix generation.

And it doesn't all happen for free.
Stay safe and fight for what matters, American friends.
Yeah, fair enough. Frankly, I was mostly curious about what people's partners tendencies say about Tiles posters. I don't think that I specified women in an effort to see whether these things crossed the divide.
Offside on my part - I probably shouldn't have been so casual in my curiousity in a thread where the topic is pretty serious.
Lesson learned.
